The Great Believers

Autor Rebecca Makkai
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 iun 2019
'Focused on a group of friends, lovers, and family outcasts, the book highlights the way tragic illness shifts the courses of people's lives - and how its touch forever lingers on those left behind' Harper's Bazaar

Set in Chicago in 1984 and Paris in 2015, The Great Believers is a story of how love can both rescue and destroy us, a thrilling, addictive novel full of characters whom the reader comes to know as friends, colleagues and lovers.

'Makkai has created a moving story about Chicago and Paris, the past and present, the young men lost to AIDS and the ones who survived. And just as her novel evokes art's power to commemorate the departed, The Great Believers is itself a poignant work of memoir' Viet Thanh Nguyen, Pulitzer-prize winning author of The Sympathizer

'This expansive, huge-hearted novel conveys the scale of the trauma that was the early AIDS crisis, and conveys, too, the scale of the anger and love that rose up to meet it . . . I loved this book' Garth Greenwell author of What Belongs to You

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

In 1985, Yale Tishman, the development director for an art gallery in Chicago, is about to pull off an amazing coup: bringing an extraordinary collection of 1920s paintings as a gift to the gallery. Yet as his career begins to flourish, the carnage of the AIDs epidemic grows around him. One by one, his friends are dying and after his friend Nico's funeral, he finds his partner is infected, and that he might even have the virus himself. The only person he has left is Fiona, Nico's little sister.

Thirty years later, Fiona is in Paris tracking down her estranged daughter who disappeared into a cult. While staying with an old friend, a famous photographer who documented the Chicago epidemic, she finds herself finally grappling with the devastating ways the AIDS crisis affected her life and her relationship with her daughter. Yale and Fiona's stories unfold in incredibly moving and sometimes surprising ways, as both struggle to find goodness in the face of disaster.
